In Memoriam

Well it's a long way out to reach the sea
还要走很长的路才能到达大海
But I'm sure I'll find you waitin' there for me
但我肯定会找到你的
And by the time I blink I'll see your wild arms swingin'
当我眨眼的时候, 我会看到你荡着狂野的双臂
just to meet me in the middle of the road
只是为了在路中央遇见我
And you'll hold me like you'll never let me go
你会抱着我, 就像你永远不会让我离开
And beside the salty water I could hold you close
在咸水的旁边,我可以紧紧的抱着你
But you are far too beautiful to love me
但你太美了, 不能爱我

在尘土飞扬的山上长途旅行
Well it's a long haul up the dusty mountain
我会造一个足够高的炮塔让你离开
I'll build a turret tall enough to keep you out
但当你对爱慕你的人发动战争时
But when you wage your wars against the one who adores you
你将会永远不会知道你所拥有得财富
Then you'll never know the treasure that you're worth
但我以前从来都不是富裕之人
But I've never been a wealthy one before
我的口袋里有几个窟窿,是说谎者的金子烧的
I've got holes in my pockets burned by liars' gold
我想我太穷了,你并不需要我
And I think I'm far too poor for you to want me
这是一个漫长的道路,失去了我拥有的一切

你不知道你拥有什么直到你离去
It's been a long road losing all I've owned
这是一个坏习惯花完你所拥有的一切
You don't know what you've got 'til you're gone
但是你在做这一切之前离开
And it's a nasty habit spending all you have
那么你的爱永远不会消失
But if you're doing all the leaving
如果你一切开始之前离开的话,那就从来没有爱可言
Then it's never your love lost
天知道我很容易离开我本该爱的唯一的上帝
And if you leave before the start then there was never love at all
但你太美了, 不能离开我
And heaven knows I'm prone to leave the only God I should have loved
Yet you're far too beautiful to leave me
